Last week, I took Nico Pitney to task for getting something 100 percent wrong. Specifically, Nico wrote that I was “repeatedly advocating for military action against Iran over the last several years” when, in fact, I have not only never taken that position, but have also argued consistently against bombing Iran in lectures to the U.S. military units, various World Affairs Councils, and at universities. On other issues as well, Nico got basic facts wrong and eschewed basic fact-checking.
Nico is the national editor of the Huffington Post. Requests for corrections go through him. Alas, Nico has not the professionalism to respond to an e-mail request for corrections or post a retraction. The longer you wait, Nico, the more ridiculous you look.
